Xiaomi 15 Ultra – Design, Photo, Performances … Everything we know about the future star of photophones
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will impose itself as the flagship of the Chinese brand, succeeding a 14 ultra equally high -end and launched in 2024. Smartphone will be formalized on March 2 in Barcelonaas part of MWC lounge. The big brother of Xiaomi 15presented at the end of 2024 in China, and already marketed on their domestic market, is therefore called upon to complete a series of premium smartphones, with upscale characteristics and a particularly neat photo component. A few weeks before the deadline, here is what we know about this photophone.
Design and screen
THE Xiaomi 14 Ultra adopted the design codes of vintage cameras, and the 15 Ultra should register in its wake. The latest leaks In date show a mobile on the two -color back, mixing similarities and brushed metal, like the compacts of the last century. On this flat back shell – all have passed there, from Samsung with its ultra galaxy s25 in Honor with his Magic 7 Pro – Headquartered an imposing photo block also circulated by metal. It should be an imposing smartphone, probably equipped with a disponent display of the diagonal of 6.73 inches of 14 Ultra, but also its OLED technology, its definition of 1440 x 3200 pixels and its high light of 3000 cd /m² announced. The latest fleeing visuals show that its borders are particularly fine; We can hope that the smartphone is very slightly more compact than its predecessor (161.4 x 75.3 x 9.2 mm) and, why not, that it wins a few grams in passing.
Performance
Xiaomi equips its Xiaomi 15 from the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the last premium chip from Qualcomm. It is therefore more than likely that the 15 Ultra is also provided, which should give the smartphone both a wide dose of power and pointed skills in terms of artificial intelligence. Xiaomi has already started to show its AI ambitions (integration of Circle to Search since the Xiaomi 14Tphoto editing functions, etc.), and should therefore rely on the potential of chipset To go even further. This chip engraved in 3 Nm would be flanked by 16 GB of RAM and a generous storage of 512 GB, like the 14 Ultra. This Snapdragon 8 Elite is of course synonymous with compatibility with 5G and, despite rumors tabbling on WiFi 6th only, it seems obvious that the smartphone will support WiFi 7.
Autonomy
The 5000 mAh of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra gave it correct endurance, close to the 17 hours on our target protocol. His successor could earn 1000 mAh, and go to a 6000 mAh accumulator. To limit the overweight of the aircraft, but also avoid weighing it down, Xiaomi will undoubtedly have called on a silicon-carbon accumulator (upper density), to replace traditional lithium-ion batteries. It is rumored that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will keep the wired load 90 W from sound predecessor, and that it will take charge of up to 50 W without-fil.
Software
Xiaomi went entirely to Hyperos, its house interface based on Android. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra should adopt the latest version, Android 15 therefore, associated with Hyperos 2.0. A software version turned towards AI which we expect to discover all the details in the Xiaomi 15 series.
Photo
Partner of Leica since 2022, Xiaomi will apply the stamp of the German specialist in photography on its 15 Ultra. If this point is confirmed, the technical characteristics of this photo block remain to be specified. Rumors evoke a quadruple photo module, including 50 MP sensors and, notable novelty, a 200 MP sensor.
- A large angle module with type 1 inch sensor to the definition of 50 Mpx and optics with variable opening f/1.6-f/4.0
- An ultra-angle module with 50 MP sensor and Optics f/1.8
- A 50 MP module with a 75 mm equivalent telephoto (f/1.8), i.e. magnification x3.2
- A final telephoto module with a 200 Mpx sensor, an f/2.6 opening optics and an X4.3 periscopic zoom
If the first three photo modules promise to be quite similar to two from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the last telephoto lens would be unprecedented, since that of the 2024 smartphone displayed a definition of 50 MP.
Price and availability
Rumors are currently discreet in terms of the price of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. However, it is likely to appear at an equivalent price, or 1499 €. We expect availability in the wake of the MWC in Barcelona, in March 2025.
